You've got a good heart. Sometimes that's enough to to see you safe wherever you go. But mostly, it's not.
("Neverwhere")

What should I believe? thought Shadow, and the voice came back to him from somewhere deep beneath the world, in a bass rumble: Believe everything.Neil Gaiman
If I come back, it will be a place, but it won't be a home any longer.
Neil Gaiman
Everything that is,casts a shadow
Neil Gaiman
Have you ever been in love Horrible isn't it It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.
Neil Gaiman
There are three things, and three things only, that can lift the pain of mortality and ease the ravages of life. These are wine, women and song
Neil Gaiman
There are accounts that, if we open our hearts to them, will cut us too deeply.
